The construction of the Occluform-3 device is based on
a Bonwill triangle with a side length of 11.5 cm (dashed
triangle) and a Balkwill angle of 20°.
Remove device parts and accessories and check for
completeness.
Joint position ex works,
this position is the best
starting position to
articulate the models.
Align marking line of the
fixation ring to the point
at the form pot.
Installation instructions:
Put the fixation ring
crossways onto the
form pot and press it
downwards to the limit
stop (supporting pin to
the right).
Press fixation ring
downwards and tighten
the fixation screw with
the hex-wrench.
Open package and remove supporting cardboards.
!Release a stiff
arresting joint by
moving it several
times.
Never oil or
lubricate!
Never lubricate
or grease the
articulations!

Model pot: turnable clamping plate, position for the most models (a + b) and for small models (c + d).
Hint: The construction dimensions of the Occluform-3 allow a bite
elevation at average values. The elevation of 1 line at the supporting
pin corresponds to approx. 1 mm bite elevation at the incisal point.
If a construction bite is at disposal the models are articulated in the
Occluform-3 using this construction bite.
Picture left, important hint: If the upper jaw model is placed in the
model pot, block the upper joint of the joint column with the joint
screw (arrow) (as shown on the picture). If the lower jaw model is
placed in the model pot, block the lower joint.

Imprinting the opposing bite for the fabrication of an adjusted splint.
1. Clamp the model onto
which the plate shall be
thermoformed into the
model pot (hex-wrench).
It might be recommendable
to clamp the model distally
slightly declined.
5. Adjust the supporting pin
to the thicker 0-line. Close
the occludating bow (avoid
collision of the models). To
articulate the models hold
the upper model plate ...
9. Imprint the opposing bite
until the supporting pin
gets contact. After slightly
pressing on unhand the
occludating bow again.
3. The unit form pot has to
be free from for ex. gran-
ules, insert the model pot
with model. The model pot
is locked into position when
the marking points are
aligned (arrows).
7. Hold and firmly fix the
arresting joint. If no con-
struction bite is available,
the bite can be lifted with
the supporting pin (see
hint).
11. Lift foil reception at
its handle with model and
model pot. Remove model
and model pot through the
foil reception.
2. The model part that shall
be moulded has to protrude
beyond the edge of the pot.
Fill pot with granules, shake
the pot to ensure that the
granules will also be spread
underneath the model.
6. ... and open the arresting
joint. Move the model with
the model plate downwards
until the models articulate
(with or without construc-
tion bite).
10. After running of the
cooling time completely
open the occludating bow
and release the foil secur-
ing ring.
4. Slightly fix the arresting
joint in the top position.
Open the occludating bow
and clamp the opposing bite
model into the upper model
plate (hex-wrench).
8. Open occludating bow.
Thermoform, as soon as the
plate is adapted close the
occludating bow.
12. In a bowl release model
from the model pot. Remove
model and thermoformed
plate from the model pot.
